[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes BASIS think their proposal will be approved when it was rejected last time? [/quote] Maybe because they are the highest performing charter in the city according to the agency that authorized them which is the same agency that will need to approve the expansion? That agency (public charter school board) looks mostly at performance and demand. Basis has both. [/quote] So why did BASIS withdraw their application last time? Demand for 5th grade is not the same thing as demand for elementary school and you know it.[/quote] I'm answering the question above about why the school might think the proposal would be approved. I only know a little of the situation the last time -- mostly from seeing the PCSB's early deliberation. I don't think the issue was one of demand but was more about perceived equity and concerns with enrollment/retention patterns. I don't know if that still remains a persistent concern of the PCSB today as the board membership has changed quite a bit from the members who raised a lot of equity concerns. https://parentshaveschoolchoicekidswin.com/2016/10/18/basis-pcs-seeks-to-expand/ https://parentshaveschoolchoicekidswin.com/2019/02/19/basis-dc-pcs-should-become-a-private-school/ [/quote]
